From sharing her nighttime routine and favorite things of summer 21 to intense workout sessions, Larson has been quite active on social media lately. She recently took to Instagram to showcase her intense training forThe Marvels, captioning, “How many pieces of work out equipment does it take to become a super hero? All of them!” Larson can be seen performing kettlebell squats on a flywheel box in the first clip. You can check out the videos below.
The second clip sees Larson performing push-ups using a resistance band and with perfect form too. She credited her trainer for keeping her motivated. “Even after years of training, I still try to find ways to get out of working out. Luckily @risemovement keeps me motivated by prefacing a new move with ‘this will be fun,'” Larson captioned. Her trainer Jason Walsh can be heard in the background encouraging her. The Oscar-winning actress takes all her roles quite seriously, and for 2019’sCaptain Marvel, Larson flew in actual jets, underwent combat training, lifted heavy weights, and even pushed a 5000 lb jeep.
